I’m pregnant and my husband is a jerk.
We just moved. Our new house is great, but the AC isn’t working. We changed the filter, but the house is still always 76-77 degrees. For a pregnant woman this is terrible. I can’t sleep at night and it’s too hot to function during the day.
My husband told me to order a new thermostat and we would try that. I ordered one through Target. I accidentally sent it to the old address. I called and couldn’t get it redirected. They canceled the order and sent a new one. I confirmed the address 3 times. Somehow I notice they are still sending it to the old address! Today I called and got a refund, and I planned to just go to Best Buy and purchase it.
My husband wants us to get the package from our old house. He has a package accidentally going there too. I tried to coordinate it and he suddenly lost his shit. He said it isn’t his fault I can’t order something correctly. He told me to suck it up, and that he’s sure “the women in Africa are crying for me.” He called me a “spoiled princess” and told me he bought me this new house and it’s still not good enough.
I am so annoyed and furious. He hasn’t cared at all during this pregnancy. He just tells me to suck it up. Deal with it. Last pregnancy he installed a window unit in our room so I could sleep. Now I have to just get over it? I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask him to care about my comfort. I care about his.
The difference between us: I would have told him, “It was an accident I that you hadn’t changed the address, and it sucks that Target screwed up, but we will figure it out.” But his response is to call me incompetent and spoiled. Cool.
Am I being irrational?
